Be it known th'atI, OLIVER consent, a citizen of the United States bf America, and a resident of Chicago, in'the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful. Improvements in Lining Hoop- Attaching Machines, of whichthe following is a specificatiom The main object of my invention is to provide an improved device for attaching lininghoops to cylindrical veneer packages. The particular objects of different features of construction shown will be understood from the following description with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which- Figurel is a side elevation of a machine constructed according to my invention, showing the drum partly in section and showing the outer shaft partly broken away. Fig. 2 is a Vertical section of the drum on the line 2 2 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 is a vertical section on the line 3 3. Fig. 4 is a vertical section on the line 4 4 of Fig; 1. Fig. 5 is a horizontal section on the line 5 5 of Fig. 1. Fig. 6 is a front elevation of theuppe'rpart of the anvil, showing in dotted unsea lower position of the stop for abutting the front of the veneer package.

The device shown consists, mainly, of a supporting -frame having journaled therein a shaft carrying a collapsible drum, a vertically-adjustable anvil under the front end of said drum, and mechanism for collapsing and rotating said drum. ,7

The standards 1 of the frame have a hollow shaft 6 journaled therein. The ratchet-wheel 7 is rigidly mounted on said shaft. The arm 8 is loose on said shaft and carries the pawl 9 and a spring 10, which keeps said'pawl in engagement with the ratchet-wheel 7. The rod 11 is pivotedat one end to the arm Sand at theother end to the crank 12. Said crank is rigid on the rock-shaft 13, which is operated by the step 14. Therock-shaft 13 is journaled in the bearingp'ieces 15 of the frame. The sleeves 16, 17, and 18 are slidingly mounted on the hollow shaft 6 and keyed thereto against relative rotation. The sleeve 18 is connected with the sleeve 16 by the arms 19. Said arms are not secured to the sleeve 17. The collar 20 is rigidly secured to the hollow shaft6 by means of the set-screw 21. The

disk 22 is rigidly supported by the collar 20. The ring 23 is secured to the disk 22 by means of the pins 24. Said pins have mounted there on the washers 25 between the ring 23 and the disk 22. The arms 26 are rigidly secured to thesegments 27 of the drum. Said arms are each seated between a pair of the washers 25, being longitudinally movable between the ring 23 and disk 22. The arms 28 and 29 are pivoted at their outer ends to the segments 27 and at their inner ends to the sleeves 18 and 17, respectively. The spring 30 surrounds the shaft 6, operating between the disk 22 and the sleeve lSto urge said sleeve normally toward the shoulder 31 of the shaft 6. The inner shaft 32 is longitudinally slidable in said shaft 6 and is secured to the sleeve 17 by means of the pin Said pin projects through suitable slots in the shaft 6, thus permitting thesleeve 17 to be moved with the inner shaft 32 longitudinally of said shaft 6. The lever 34 has a pin 35 at its upper end operating in'the 'groove36 of the sleeve 16. The'lever 34 isjpivoted to the frame at 37 and has the arm 38 pivoted to its lower end. The bell-crank 39 is pivoted to the frame at 40 and connected to the lever 41 by the pivoted arm 42. I The spring 43 is secured at its upper'end to the standard 44 of the anvil and is secured at its lower end to the pin 45. The latch 46 is pivoted to the standard 44 in position to engage the pin 47 when the lever 41 is depressed. The lever 48 is pivoted to thei'rame at 49 and has a link 50 connecting same with the col1ar6l, which engages the shaft 32,'so as to permit the revolution of same. The arm 51 is pivoted to the levers 34 and48. The anvil 52 has the downwardlyextending part 53 seated between the uprights 54 of the standard 44." Said member 53 is provided with a vertical slot 55. The bolts 56 are seated in the members 54and pass through the slot 55. Said boltslare provided with ends 57, whereby the members 54 are firmly drawn together against the member 53. The stop 58 is pivoted to the anvil by means of the arms 59. The pivots holding said arms are tightened, so that the stop 58 will be held in the position to which same is moved by the operator. The pin 60 limits lapsed, as before described.

The operator will then depress the free end of the latch 46, thus'releasing the pin 4-7 and permitting" the drum to expand through the aotionof the springs 30 and 43. 7 The operator will then 'insertthe strip from which the lining-hoop is to be formed at the edge of the package abuttingagainst the stop 58. He will then depress the step 14, so as to rotate the package at intervals through the action of the pawl and ratchet during the process of nailing the hoop to the, package.
